Begin your adventure with a visit to the Chengdu Panda Base, the closest giant panda breeding and research facility to city centre Chengdu. With a large population of pandas, it is the ideal destination for panda viewing in the city.

Next, head to a time-honored snack shop with over a century of history, where you can savour authentic Chengdu snacks.

Continue to a distinctive teahouse where you can enjoy a cup of tea while watching a performance that includes Sichuan opera face-changing. This experience not only allows you to immerse yourself in Chengdu's relaxed lifestyle but also offers a glimpse into the charm of Sichuan's folk arts. After tea, take a stroll through People's Park to experience the unique atmosphere of a Chinese public park and even visit the famous “matchmaking corner” to learn about contemporary Chinese dating culture.

Finally, visit one of Chengdu's landmarks: Kuanzhai Alley (Wide and Narrow Alleys). Originally built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty as a residential area for Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers, the alleys feature a blend of Sichuan-style architecture with grey bricks and black tiles, combined with the layout of northern courtyard houses.
